    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Very professional environment and I had a great job opportunity in working on a new big translation project which gave me great experience.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • My skills seemed to have been much appreciated by my colleagues, and as a French native, I was asked questions and advice.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • For the first part of the internship, a lot of guidance was given to me. For the big project I took part in, a bit less as it was very new for everyone.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Before the big project started, I felt bored sometimes. Then I got busy 100% thanks to the big project.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • responsibility was increased week by week, in accordance with my learning.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • All the skills I learnt there were really helpful, first to get my first real job, then in enlarging my areas of competences (thanks to that big project, too).
